There's a big Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 patch coming this week

'Key improvements' promised

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 developer Treyarch has confirmed that it will launch a major update for the military shooter later this week, which will tackle some of the bigger issues that have reared their heads since launch.

One of the main issues that users have been reporting are poor network performances when engaging in Blackout quad games. It seems to be a bit more of a nusiance on Xbox One, and Treyarch has said it's working on a fix by attempting to first replicate the problem internally.

The studio is also working on other fixes, including one for an issue where red dot optics occasionally vanish and then reappear when aiming down the sights, and 'unexpected behaviour' that affects the emblem editor.

Other issues include a match suddenly ending in custom search and destroy games after round seven, well as the now-infamous and cheeky ability to look around corners when using emotes.
